Lactose Intolerance and Celiac Disease

Lactose intolerance is when a person has difficulty
absorbing and digesting lactose, a sugar found in
dairy products.  When a person is first diagnosed
with Celiac disease the lining of the gut is damaged
from eating gluten which can mean that the body
does not make enough lactase.
Symptoms of lactose intolerance are, nausea, bloating,
gas, stomach pain and diarrhea.
Once the stomach lining has healed, most people are
able to tolerate dairy again.
